Recommended Safety Equipment

Helmet

The purpose of a safety helmet is to protect the head of the wearer against hazards. We recommend wearing one when using this item.

Boots

Appropriate safety footwear should always be used when working with tools and machinery. Ordinary shoes / trainers offer no protection against potential injuries. All our stores carry a full range of protective footwear by leading brands such as Caterpillar, Timberland, Dewalt, Dr Martens and Dunlop.

Gloves

Protective gloves will protect you from cuts, scratches and burns. Please note what makes one glove suitable for one purpose does not necessarily make it suitable for another. Ask a member of our team to get you the correct safety gloves for the job at hand when you are instore.
